The Dental Health Foundation (DHF) is a registered charity and my Department has no function in its management. My Department, however, engages the DHF in providing the secretariat services for the Irish Expert Body on Fluorides and Health. In this role, the DHF provides support to the Expert Body in the organisation of meetings; the development of the work agenda and the management and co-ordination of research initiatives; and the duties associated with the implementation of decisions taken by the Expert Body.
